We at the Wisconsin United Methodist Foundation invest money for churches (wumf.org) to build building funds or church scholarship funds, but we are also proud to partner with Revive Community Development. Here's a great piece in the Cap Times about what Revive is accomplishing in the Madison area. https://captimes.com/news/community/madison-churches-becoming-housing-community-spaces-as-religion-shifts/article_f8fdd333-d898-4fd1-9b45-b0cff4546ff2.html

Questions of the week: We are getting a few questions about Stewardship Conference videos. They were sent out yesterday to those who enrolled in the Zoom training. Check your inbox and make an appointment with your team to view them! Hint: offering food or beverage during continuing education always sweetens the deal :)

The Oct. Stewardship newsletter is available online and will be blasted soon. As always, contact the office at 608-837-9582 or email [email protected] if you'd like a Word doc for your newsletter. https://www.wumf.org/church-newsletter-help

We were asked for more information on a Stewardship Conference survey and are sending the contact brochures today. Feel free to print our services brochures from our website, or contact the office if you'd like color copies for your team meetings, and they will be mailed to you. https://www.wumf.org/brochures

Have a fabulous weekend and we'll catch you next week!

Fall is coming! 🍂 Which means it’s time to get your church building ready for winter.

Before the temperatures drop, there are a few things every church Trustee or facilities team will want to double-check. From heating systems and gutters to exterior doors, plumbing, and more, we put together a Fall Readiness Checklist to make it easier to walk through those often-overlooked details.

Think of it as a simple way to ask: “What could become a problem this winter if we don’t address it now?”

Download the free Fall Readiness Checklist and take a walk around your building before winter does. ❄️🥶 https://www.revivecommdev.org/education-1
